    Would you hire somebody with 4 preventable accidents in 2 years?

    Maybe driving just isnt your thing.

    Its not over due to the CSA garbage you will get in because you havent had any in the last 2yrs you basically you come in as a new driver with previous accident history. BUT YOU GOT TO STOP RUNNING OVER //// lol

    Some companies don't check the dac. If its on your mvr also, it would be difficult to get a job I would think. I also think the severity of them would play a part of it. I know insurance companies would have a hard time with it but the dac system is none of their business. They would probably never see it. I've noticed some of the most honest people in this business have the worst driving record and some of the worst drivers have the best records.

    Were the accidents caused by the same issue?
